U.S., Feb. 12 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06820346) titled 'New Manual Test for Hip Abductor Extensibility' on Feb. 05.
Brief Summary: This pilot study aims to evaluate the precision and accuracy of a new manual test for assessing hip abductor extensibility. The iliotibial band (ITB) and hip abductor muscles play a crucial role in lower limb biomechanics, and their flexibility is commonly assessed using the Ober test. However, the Ober test has limitations, including excessive pelvic movement and reliance on qualitative evaluation. This study introduces and validates a novel manual test designed to improve the accuracy and reliability of hip abductor extensibility assessment.
